Acclaimed author Jill McCorkle will be at Burke’s Book Store on Monday, October 19th, from 5:30 to 6:30 PM to sign copies of her new book of stories, Going Away Shoes (Algonquin Books, $19.95, hardcover).
Jill McCorkle, a master of the short story whose work has been compared to that of Alice Munro and Lorrie Moore, is a writer whose characters insist on our immediate and total attention. From the first story, about a modern-day Cinderella contemplating escape, to the last, "Me and Big Foot," an idyll about finding the perfect prince, McCorkle's collection is the genuine article, the work of a great storyteller who knows exactly how--and why--to pair longing and laughter.
Jill McCorkle is the author of eight previous books--three story collections and five novels--five of which have been selected as New York Times Notable Books. She is the winner of the New England Book Award, the John Dos Passos Prize for Excellence in Literature, and the North Carolina Award for Literature. She teaches writing at North Carolina State University and lives with her husband in Hillsborough, North Carolina.
If unable to attend you may order signed or inscribed copies at www.burkesbooks.com.
